Europe won’t boycott FIFA vote
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUEFA will not boycott FIFA’s congress and presidential election in Zurich on Friday, Dutch federation president Michael van Praag says following a meeting of the European governing body.
“There will be no UEFA boycott because there are also (apart from the presidential election) important issues to be decided like the Israel/Palestine question,” says van Praag on Thursday.
UEFA member Israel needs the European body’s backing to avoid a Palestinian bid to have it expelled from FIFA which could be voted on during the congress.
